Somebody please help

[Haldi]

Dear doctors and whomsoever that can help me:

I had an unprotected sexual incident with a prostitute roughly 3 years ago. I have had crazy symptoms ever since.
Here goes for two years had the following:
1. Excessive urination about 15 to 20 times a day. Sometimes a lot comes out other times very little.
2. Sudden graying and whitening of hair.
3. Intense fatigue
4. high uric acid (8.2)
5. High total bilirubin (1.1)
6. Joint pains
7. Muscle pains
8. high blood pressure
9. Low vitamin counts in body. Have to constantly take vitamin injections specially of Vitamin B and Vitamin D.
10. Lately developed allergies and infection in the eye, nose and ear(diagnosed by a doctor). Been precribed anti-allergies which is not geared towards resolving the core issue that causes these allergies more of a band-aid step so to speak.


I have tested negative for Chlamydia, mono, vdrl, and hep b (positive antibodies doc said i must have been inoculated, hep c, and of course HIV tested 7 times over the span of 2 years tested negative however with wildly fluctuating numbers. tested positive for Cytomegalovirus. 3 tests over 6 months the first two tests showed a value CMV IGG 78, 64 and then 84. The last cmv igg test showed a jump to 169.

NOw the questions I have are:
1. I have had many cbc bloodwork done. All of them show irregularities however the last one I did was the most interesting. It showed red blood cells very low 4. 2 WBC count falling to 5.8, Lympocyte 18% whereas one year ago they were 35%. mcv VERY HIGH 97.3. MOnocytes jumped to 11.8%. And my blood platelets fallen to 235.

Guys/gals I have been going crazy for the last 3 years worrying about this. Please somone help me. mY WORRIES ARE:
how come my lympocytes have falled to 18%. Does it mean that I have hiv because hiv attacks lympocytes. And they have falled drastically almost by half. I have developed crazy allergies. My allergy blood test came to 239 where the normal values are under a 100. My monocytes have jumped to 11.8% where normal is under 10%. To me it definately looks like a case of HIV which is just not showing up on the lab test but all the symptoms are there. In addition it is wrecking my immune system and attacking my lympocytes.

2. My liver. Is my liver being actively destroyed on a daily basis because my bilirubin is high 1.2 where normal is under 1. My urine has been yellow for over two years. It becomes white if I drink lots of water otherwise it stays yellow. IS my liver causing these allergies because it is being actively destroyed.

3. For people who may say it cannot be HIV. Then is it the cytomegalovirus that is causing this. I have spoken to some doctor s in the past who say cytomegalovirus cannot be causing all this because once your body fights it off then the cmv does not remain active. HOwever, I have read up on CHronic fatigue patients who all at one point or the other have been infected with either cmv or ebv. Apparently according to some research which I have read some doctors say that the cmv hides out in our immune system actively destroying it. Please, please help me out and let me know. My gut tells me it must be hiv if cmv does not supposedly affect us so badly. But if not hiv then is the cmv that i have so active. Because of the jumpin result of my last cmv test.

By the way my pcr cmv test came back and said no dna of this found.

lastly i have also lost roughly 20 pounds in the last two years.

sorry I cant help you I4m not a doctor and I dont think anyone here will be able to help but I hope Im wrong.
I guess you have to change doctors, also maybe it has no connection with this sexual intercourse.

Haldi, I was so sorry to read about your struggles. Also, I can't believe no one on this board responded to your post--except one 14 year old girl who seems to at least be concerned about you. This is my first post on this board. I know you will probably never read this, but I want to respond anyway. I think a lot of people who suffer from CFS and also Irritable Bowel Syndrome have gotten their problems from illicit sexuality activity just as you have. BUT, they don't have enough guts like you do to admit it. I thank you for at least having enough integrity to tell us how you got the disease. I'll bet there are a lot more on this board who got it that way, but act like "Oh, well goollie, I don't know how in the world I got this". But there are probably also some who did not get it through illicit sexual activity.

I also got a mild form of chronic fatigue, and I'm certain I got it from a hooker in Vancouver, British Columbia a couple of years ago. Vancouver is the sin capital of North America for this kind of activity. But for some reason I didn't get it as bad as you did. It just altered my lifestyle some, but I have other problems I wont go into. After 14 hours, I must crash and get into bed for a couple of hours. 14 hours is the max I can go now. When I would wake up in the morning and go to work around 0600, I could tell I felt weak even though I had about 8 hours of total sleep the night before. I would also have to take a nap at lunch time for a half hour. So, I was still able to function, but I could not go 18 or 19 hours/day nonstop like I used to. But, I did not have the very deep problems that you have had. This is the thing with chronic fatigue--it affects everyone differently. But I'm almost certain it is some kind of virus or bacteria that is the root cause--at least in our cases. Others may attribute it to stress and overdoing or whatever--OK maybe they are right, but in your case it certainly is a pathogen.

Please don't give up. I would encourage you to try to God to help you through this. I am a Christian man, and I couldn't make it through all my issues without the Lord. But, all your research may pay off for you one day big time too. It's good that you are gathering information from the doctors about what the abnormalities might be. Maybe there are natural remedies that will really work. And please don't give up on your life yet. I can tell you have a lot of fear, and that is very understandable. I would too if I was in your shoes. But, somehow in the grace of God there must be a solution. Please try not to become a sex addict. Believe me it will destroy you. I should know. Don't get into internet porn either. I know it may be a huge temptation, but please don't do it. It will hurt you a lot. Also, I seriously doubt you have HIV. They say that if you have sex with a woman that is HIV infected, you would have only a 1 in a thousand chance of getting HIV from sexual intercourse. In other words you would have to do it 1000 times before you got HIV. Of course with homosexual relations, the odds are much higher. Please try to be at peace Haldi. Be at peace in the grace of God. Please respond if you happen to come back to this board.
